Investment Week unveils finalists for Specialist Investment Awards 2020


Investment Week is pleased to announce the finalists for the Specialist Investment Awards 2020, which celebrate specialist groups and funds across the industry.

They recognise managers who are true specialists in their chosen field, while highlighting boutique and passive managers providing outstanding and unique propositions to clients. 

Factors setting the winners apart include: uniqueness of asset class and strategy; consistency of returns; strong management teams; local teams and resources; and providing affordable access for investors to a specialist area of the market. 

Entrants must show they are providing a particular missing link in a portfolio to maximise portfolio diversification. 

Fund groups are invited to make submissions to enter the Specialist Investment awards and have to fill in a detailed questionnaire drilling down into areas including: fund/group performance; team processes and culture; product innovation; and how the strategies fit into client portfolios. 

The awards are judged using a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria by a judging panel of leading fund selectors and researchers. 

Our judges for this year’s awards can be found here:  https://event.investmentweek.co.uk/specialistinvestmentawards/en/page/judges. 

All the winners will be announced online on www.investmentweek.co.uk on 2 December.
